Detection of lipid-core plaques by intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy identifies high risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) in 3% to 15% of cases (depending on the definition used). In many cases, these MIs result from distal embolization of lipid-core plaque (LCP) constituents. Prospective identification of LCP with catheter-based near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may predict an increased risk of peripro...
متن کاملANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS WITH EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICES
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by some clinicians. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in Iran for CAS with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of CAS. Methods: From December 2...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملCoronary liposuction during percutaneous coronary intervention: evidence by near-infrared spectroscopy that aspiration reduces culprit lesion lipid content prior to stent placement.
AIMS Intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has demonstrated substantial lipid in STEMI culprit plaques. Thrombus aspiration during primary PCI reduces distal embolization and improves reperfusion. This study was performed to examine if aspiration thrombectomy reduces the lipid content of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) culprit plaque...
متن کاملLeukocyte count predicts microembolic Doppler signals during carotid stenting: a link between inflammation and embolization.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Protected stenting has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis in patients at high operative risk. Distal microembolization occurs invariably during carotid stenting. Little is known about the relationship between systemic inflammation and embolization during carotid stenting. METHODS We examined 43 consecutive...
